Drifting an FTO

Post by Storm »

Some of you may have heard of the "Big Freeze" over here in the UK and the English have ground to a halt. However up here in Scotland we just happen to have loads of big car parks which are frozen over - instant fun!

Been sliding and drifting all over them - it's been insane fun and everytime I go out a see a newish car stuck in snow :lol: . My 16 year old car? Not been stuck once :D

Wouldn't recommend it in Bens car but my GPX tip is perfect for it ;)

Lolz. I managed to get a couple of complete curcits of the car park sideways with the handbrake on. An FTO would be awesome with drive to the rear.

Now all trains cancelled so I might be out practising again today :-)

Swear I've seen asains drifting fwd cars on youtube they just handbrake

I think the back wheels would end up square

Also I think there's this stuff you can spray your wheels with and makes them slippery ( spray the back and have some fun )

I've seen an FWD drift team but it's not half as impresive as watching RWD on full lock..

Its not really drifting then is it. It's more like skidding
